I am trying to extrude a flat image with alpha.

So far, I
1. imported the alpha into a new material,

2. applied this to a flat plane

3. converted plane to editable

4. parented the plane to "vectorizor"

5. parented vectorizor to "loft nurbs"

This does not create an extrusion to the plane object.
Is there any way to do this?

The vectorizer doesn't work like that. You load the image into the texture input on the vectoriser (in the attributes manager), and then that will result in a spline that you can then extrude.

DiTools by Remotion contains a surface texture to spline generator that works more how you were thinking.
